What this means when you scope a building

  • Health care employs 67,866 people in the county, and clinics and medical suites should carry their own task list.
  • Converted mill buildings often have old hardwood, concrete, and freight elevators. Ask for a floor plan that treats each surface on its own cycle.
  • At a $19.17 median janitor wage, trimming daily tasks in low-traffic rooms is where most of the savings come from.
  • Budget winter entry mopping and a spring scrub-and-recoat, since salt residue dulls hard floors quickly.
